What happens if I keep the car an extra day so total days I'm keeping the car is 6? Will they charge me 1 extra day, or will the final amount be exactly the same, as the price is for a weekly rental already?
Does your rate breakdown on your page show "5 Days @ ___/Day" or "1 Week @ ___/Week"?
If the former, then you might be on a daily rate plan and charged an extra day. If the latter, it should be safe to just keep it an extra day and pay only a few $ more in taxes (as applicable).
Calling Hertz reservations to change your dates may rerate your reservation (not necessarily a bad thing--the price could have dropped!), but telling the CSR at the counter you'll be returning it a day late should not (but check first before signing anything!), so you can inform them there.
